Hi All,
I just put my first ever batch of brew into my combination fermentation / bottling bucket (I have the True Brew K6 kit). The ingredient kit I purchased suggests that when it comes time to bottle I should slowly pour priming sugar into my second vessel with the beer. In my case there is no second vessel. I've read to boil the sugar in water and just dump it in but is there a technique involved (stir, don't stir, let cool, etc...)?
Also, the brew shop I went to told me to leave the wort/beer in the fermenter for a week longer than the instructions suggest and that the result would be a "cleaner" beer. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks so much!
